This is a blog about drinking chocolate and follows the life of Merkel Marmaduke through the cafes of Adelaide, SA and elsewhere, while he searches for the ultimate hot chocolate.

Boho Bar

Boho on Unley Road is worth a visit just to look at the décor. It is done up like a circus tent and decorate with antique furnishing from side shows and amusement arcades. There is a range of seating from bar stools with human-looking legs to big lounge chairs and coffee tables. Boho puts on live music, fortune telling and circus acts free of charge to patrons. The dim lighting and rich colours are reminiscent of the Edwardian furnishing of Spats.

The hot chocolate at Boho Bar was only three dollars and came topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa. This would have been a Vienna chocolate in most venues but fortunately this did not concern Merkel. The drink was served in a glass that was too hot to hold comfortably but fortunately there was a napkin available to hold it with. The drink was smooth and creamy but not particularly chocolaty.
